I have been trying to figure out why my grizz won’t start for weeks now. To be specific it will turn over but won’t fire up. I just bought a whole new carb for it and fuel petcock. Adjusted the intake valves (haven’t gotten to exhaust valves yet). I have good compression and the spark plug sparks when out and turned over. I have read on forums that some guy just put a new spark plug in and it fires right up. How true that is i don’t know but i will find out tomorrow when i buy a new plug. If the exhaust valves we out of proper clearance would it not start at all? Any feed back would be greatly appreciated.

I just did the shim mod on my 09 grizz 550. I put black diamond atr radials on and I ride here in MT at 4000-8000 ft on average. The heavy tires caused a lot of power loss.
I consider myself an ok mechanic but pretty conservative and don’t do much technical stuff, usually just routine maintenance.
I added 1.5 mm of shim and thought it was hitting the cover. I had plenty of splines so I hit the inside of the cover a bit with some rough scotchbrite on a die grinder.
I feel a difference on the low end. Nothing super but I would describe it as similar to the power I had before adding heavy tires. I don’t think I lost any top end. I might have but I still hit 50 which is about as fast as I ever went before. I would say it is definitely worth the $10 and hour or two of time it took.

Have people used Gasket maker on the clutch and stator covers that I always seem to be taking off? Seems a waste of gaskets, especially on the clutch side, as I mud a lot.

As Stated, I’m looking to buy new slip-on exhaust, been looking at 3.

1. HMF Swamp Series
2. Big Gun ECO
3. MBRP Performance Muffler

Any input on these would be great. Advantages or disadvantages.

Thanks
